Malaysian increases Aus and NZ capacity.
Malaysia Airlines said yesterday that it will boost capacity on flights to Australia and New Zealand by using a wider-bodied Boeing 747 jet aircraft instead of the 777 now operating on those routes.
At the same time, Malaysia’s biggest carrier has dropped plans to start flights to five cities in India and China, as a step towards cutting costs and improving performance, in a statement saying that services to the Indian cities of Amritsar and Cochin, and the Chinese cities of Fuzhou, Guilin and Shenzen, would be deferred indefinitely.
It said it planned daily flights to New Delhi from 4 a week now, taking to 33 its total weekly flights to the Indian subcontinent and in China. The airline said it would add ione flight each week to Xiamen, taking to 54 its total weekly flights from the Malaysian capital.
